Why I Love This Dip
- No cooking required – just blend and chill
- Light and fresh with a creamy tang
- Makes crackers, chips, or veggies instantly craveable
- Can be prepped ahead and stored for days
- Great for warm weather, BBQs, or any casual hang
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 medium cucumber, halved (no need to peel unless waxy)
- 4 green onions, trimmed
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp salt, or to taste
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- Crackers, chips, or cut veggies, for dipping
Instructions
1. Blend the Veggies
Add cucumber and green onions to a food processor or blender. Pulse until finely chopped but not pureed. You want texture!
2. Add the Cream Cheese
Add softened cream cheese to the food processor. Pulse again until fully blended with the veggies.
3. Season It
Scoop the mixture into a bowl. Stir in the onion powder, salt, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce until well combined.
4. Chill
Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. This dip gets better the longer it sits!
5. Serve
Serve with your favorite crackers, tortilla chips, pita wedges, or fresh vegetables like carrots and bell peppers.
Pro Tips & Swaps
- Make it lighter: Use low-fat cream cheese or swap half with Greek yogurt.
- Add herbs: Fresh dill, parsley, or chives boost the brightness.
- Texture control: Want it chunkier? Hand chop the cucumber and green onions instead of blending.
- Make it spicy: Stir in a pinch of cayenne or chopped jalapeños for a kick.
- Double batch it: This dip disappears fast—make extra if you’re hosting!
Perfect Pairings
This cool, creamy dip pairs with almost anything on a snack board. Try it with:

- Sheet Pan Quesadillas – Spoon some on the side for a cooling contrast

Storage & Leftovers
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days
- Stir before serving if it has sat—some separation is natural
- Not recommended for freezing (cream cheese changes texture)
